Now *that* was comedy, especially to an lazy fellow older-than-he-used-to-be-and-never-had-much-energy-anyway energy-conserver...“but I would also have to engage in the most energy-draining thing known to man: *lying*.”

If, heaven forbid, I suddenly found myself a widower it would be too arduous for me to play "Catch me! Catch me!" with a single adult sister. "Can I catch you tomorrow?" would be my reply.
My first brush with "salad days" was on Monty Python's Flying Circus:

Also, you have to have a specific situation in order to become interested. Very, very few people are interested in "anger" or "political activism" or "adultery" in the abstract. But somehow a surprising percentage of people manage to become involved in those things anyway.Is it laziness or just disinterest that drives these choices? i think people get involved in the things that they are interested in.

Because I just realized that my laziness is good for something and has probably kept me out of jail.
I'm so going to point this out next time Bill gets huffy about me lying around so much. I think laying sounds so much better, but .....This is very insightful and profound and any other compliment.

I like your ability to make doing nothing sound so, well, reasonable. Good work.Yeah, I’d never heard that phrase “salad days of my [] youth” before, but like it. Good post.

Okay, first is the actual adultery part. Not only would I have to actively look at a woman as a possible partner, not only would I then have to take the step to talk with her, then elevate that to flirting, then somehow go beyond flirting into the touching, then very likely spend money on hotels, gifts, dinners, etc., (are you tired yet?) but I would also have to engage in the most energy-draining thing known to man: lying. And this is all BEFORE the divorce proceedings! All the blaming and writing off friends and who-gets-what and the custody battles and paying alimony and being single again and so on. Sorry, not even a temptation.</em>
Some people might refer to the first 3/4 of that as fairly standard romance...Adultery:

Where and to what extent would you be willing to get involved and what circumstance from the Church would warrant it?
I think many of these are inherited lazinesses (lazinuli? lazii?) as I certainly share them. However, I gave up most of my game anger when i became a board gamer. Oh and that whole adultery thing.On question I hope won’t threadjack, but what if the petition you ask people to sign is part of a Church related political effort?
